The tiles look great, but they are a bit pricey at approx. $5.00 + /sqft if I'm referring to the same ones that you mean.
I used Race Deck tiles and they turned out nice for $2.00 / sqft.
I wouldn't get white tiles again though, too hard to keep clean. I may change them out to Gray.

My wife's daily driver also shares our garage so I don't want any muck going between the tiles. My friend has had the Race Deck tiles for about 5 yrs. and did not recommend them to me. I was really impressed with the samples I got solid PVC right through 4 lbs. per tile exactly what I have been looking for.

Nice garage! If you don't mind, where did you get them? I haven't seen Race Deck for less than $3.50/sqft.

Thanks for the compliment.
I bought them 4 years ago from www.BigFloors.com. Mine are Garage Deck tiles made by Race Deck.
They have a few type on sale at this time.
Garage Deck is at $1.98 sq ft and Garage Trac is at $2.11 sq ft
The site has sales on different type of tiles from time to time.

Good info, Paul. Thanks. I gather you are satisfied with the Garage Deck?

Question...for you guys with this stuff, do you work on your cars? If so what happens when you spill oil or something and it gets in the cracks or holes?

GREAT looking garage, LV2TOUR

And another question......

Does a floor jack, jack stands, etc., after using it to lift a car, leave impressions/indentations??

Looking at a similar project. Stumbled across these at Costco, about $2/sqft.

Yes, very much so. Like I previously mentioned, I wouldn't get white tiles, as they are harder to keep clean. Black/Gray would be my choice, and would of went well with my color schemes.
One tip to anyone doing these type of tiles, put down landscape fabric under the tile to prevent a hollow sound when walking.
I didn't initially, but the echo sound drove me crazy, so I pulled up all the tiles after a year, and installed the fabric. Wow, what a difference.

I do work on my car, minor repairs, oil changes etc.
I'm careful to put down drop sheets to try keep the mess to a minimum.
Although there is a slight crack between the tiles, surprisingly enough, not much oil, dirt etc. seeps down through.
I had spilled a bunch of oil, and cleaned it up from the top only.
When I lifted the tiles to put down that fabric, there was only 1 little area that had any oil, and not much dirt in any of the areas where the cracks were.


Of course I found out the hard way, but yes, jack stands will cut into the tile. I had some spares to replace the 4 I gouged.
I now use a piece of 1/4" plywood under the jack stands, and no more issues.
The rolling jack does not leave any permanent marking at all.


Take Care

They are very similar to mine. Same dimensions (1x1x1/2") and vewry hard plastic material.
I read some of the reviews in your link, and I LOL at the 3rd or 4th one that mentioned they are noisy to walk on. As I mentioned above, Landscape fabric between the cement and tile fixes that problem
